` ICE-CREAM MOLD.

` SPECIFICATION formingpart of'Letters Patent No. 657,610, dated September 11,1900.

` 1 Application filed my 7; 1900. sena1No. 22,a35. da modem u rBe it known that I', WILLIAM MITCHELL, a

Acitizen of the United States, residing at Cold-` water, in the county of Branch and State of Michigan, have invented certain'new and usefnl Improvements in Ice-Cream Molds, of4

l r13 may be moved to lie against. the inturned which the following is a` specilication. This invention relates to ice-cream molds wherein the icecream is packed after having been manufactured `to form. it into proper shape to facilitate serving, whether in a solid,

cake or in layers, one object of the invention being to provide a constructionof` holdingf canfrom which the brick of ice-Cream may be readily removed,`a further object being to provide a mold for the formation of a composite brick and means for putting it 'into and removing it from the packing-can.

Further objects and advantages of the invention will be evident from `the following description..

In the drawings forminga portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure l is ageneral perspective view showing the several parts ot'` the device disassembled. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the device with the parts in position as when the mold` is filled. Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the method of inserting a composite brick into the storage-can.

Referring now to the drawings, the present invention includes an ice box or chest 5, having a cover 6 and a drain-opening 7, all of which is of usual construction, and which box is adapted to receive ice, in which the storage-` can is packed.

The storage-can consists of a rectangular sheet-metal body 8, the upper end of which is open and the lower end closed. A lining 9 is provided for'the storage-can, made of sheet metal and having both ends open, the

lower or rear end thereof, however, being partly closed by extending` the metal at the ends of three sides of the lining and then bending the extended portions at right angles to extend part way across the end of the 1ining, as shownat 1l. The lining"9 hasa drawer fitted loosely therein, and this drawer consists of a piece of sheet metal 12, of a width approximately equal tothe width of the interior of the lining, and one end of Vwhich sheet-metal plate is bent upward-ly at right angles, as shown at 13, the height of "end portions 11 of the lining to prevent move- Ament of this rear end of the drawer rearfwardly from the lining. The forward end of the plate 12 has a ring 14 or other form of handle attached thereto.

, The operation of packing the storage-can to make a solid brick is as follows: The storage-can may be Iirstplaced in the ice-box or may be placed therein after the ice-cream is placed therein; butin eitherevent the lining is placed in the storage-can and the plate l2 is slipped thereintoin the manner above described, after which the ice-cream is placed `in the liningand upon the plate 12. The icecream is packed firmly, and when the lining is full the cover 15 is placed on the storagecan. When the ice-cream is to be removed, the ring 14 may be grasped and -the lining,

`with the plate or drawer, may be lifted from the storage-can and placed on a table, the friction between the lining and the ice-cream causing the lining to move with t-he icecream as it is lifted with the plate or drawer. then holding the lining from movement the upturned end 13 may be pressed inwardly of the lining, forcing the'front end of the drawer out through the front of the lining, when it soldered or otherwise connected to form a partial bottom for the mold.` In the use of this member of the. device the dra weris placed to rest with its bottom against oI- upon the in Wardly-projecting portions 23 and with its upturned end 13 to close the open end of the mold. The ice-cream is then `illedinto the TOO , resultant rectangular mold inlayerszimtil the mold is full; The endofy the moldfcontain# {inglthe uptnrnedend 1-3 of the-drawerjor plate 12 is then introduced into the endofy the lining'and `che drawer is pushed into the lining and yfromthe mold, carrying `the coni# f rposit/e'briokv'vith' it., When the brick has been thus placed entirely within thelining',
